Port Isaac

Holly

Port Isaac is where the tv show Doc Martin is filmed and it is where we went today. To get there we had to o down windy lanes and they were very narrow.  If a car was coming the other way we had to pull over and sometimes one car has to go backwards to a where there is a gateway or somewhere wider.

We had to park the car outside the village because you can't drive cars in. When we got there we went to the beach in front of the harbour and the tide was in. The beach was small and rocky and I did some stone skimming.

There were lots of crab pots and fishing things near the harbour.

We went for a walk past the house where Doc Martin lives and we went along the cliff for a walk.

When we came back we went to have lunch at the Krab Pot and I had crab with bread and butter. It came in a crab shell and it was nice with lemon on it but it was a bit too crabby.  It was my first time having crab.

After lunch we went back to the beach and the tide had gone out a long way so that the fishing boat that had come in was nearly aground!

The place we visited today was where Doc Martin is filmed and it is called Port Isaac.  The last season will be starting filming in a months time. Holly and I spent a bit of time on the beach skimming stones then I went with mum to look around some of the narrow lanes. Mum and Dad then had a coffee while we were on the beach. Then we  started to walk up a hill to were the house that was owned by Doc Martin in the tv show was, we then continued to walk up so we could walk up a cliff it was hard going up but alright going down.

When we got to the bottom we went to have some lunch at a café called the Krab Pot. It was very nice food and there were 3 dogs in the cafe. After lunch Holly wanted to go back to the beach to skim some more stones so we did.  The tide was out so we could go farther out .the tide went out quite fast. we saw a fishing boat come in earlier so we could see the bottom of it.  Holly wanted to take her shoes off and go out to it but Mum said no because the water was cold. The people in the boat could not get the boat right up because it would get stuck in the sand so they had a row boat they went to shore in. We did not see them rowing. Port Isaac had a pottery shop but we did not find it.

Then we had our long walk back to the car because we did not have much time left we went for a bit of a drive to try and find a coastal walk for the dog at this sit we found a place not far from the port.
